Renovation projects are on the rise, with digital methods like reality capture, model-based collaboration, and Digital Workplaces proving essential. AFRY Switzerland's “AFRY Bellinzona regional hub” is a prime example. Located in a historic Swiss town of Bellinzona, the 2,000 m² space was transformed from an unused commercial site into flexible, modern offices. Autodesk tools were used throughout: Recap for reality capture, Revit for model authoring, ACC for clash detection and coordination, AR visualisation, site reporting, and a Digital Workplace prototype with Tandem. was a top priority—repurposing the existing space helped meet initial goals, with recycled materials and 90% reused furniture from previous offices.

The Terminal 2 Baggage Programme (T2BP) at Heathrow aims to replace the aging T2 baggage system linked to Terminal 1. The new solution will be implemented in five phases across 21 construction projects, grouped by physical and operational attributes. A major challenge was managing design risks through different organizations and suppliers that interface at key areas in a live operational environment. The manual Excel processes used to record design risks led to difficulties in maintaining a single source of truth, causing duplication and errors. The goal was to find a streamlined, digital solution to standardize processes and enable monitoring and reporting through dashboards. After researching data environments, Construction Cloud was chosen for its suitability to manage design risk information, requiring customization through trial and feedback. The solution also provided integration with augmented reality (AR) for live inspections.

This class showcases the interoperability of 3ds Max software with other products, such as Revit software and AutoCAD software. This class is all about linking and reloading files from other software products into a 3ds Max scene. We will start by learning about the various settings that can be configured while linking a Revit (.rvt) file. We will then create a new linking preset and modify it as per specific requirements. Learn to use the new preset to bring a Revit file into the 3ds Max scene. Finally, we will use a variation of the source Revit file and learn how to load those changes to show up directly in the 3ds Max scene. If time permits, we will explore the interoperability of AutoCAD and 3ds Max software products.

This class will teach you a typical workflow for creating a basic rendering of a scene using the highly efficient renderer Arnold, which was incorporated into 3ds Max 2018 software. The class will begin with a brief overview of the Arnold renderer before learning to use Arnold-specific lights to illuminate the scene. You will learn about the shaders provided for Arnold and how to modify the parameters of the Arnold Standard Surface shader to create different kinds of materials. Finally, we will use the Arnold renderer to render the scene.

To manage the ever-increasing complexity and collaboration in the creation of physical assets for LAIKA's hybrid stop-motion/CG features, a Shotgun-based integrated browser workflow was developed that enables automated resource leveling and scheduling in a centralized system accessible to the entire studio. Highlights include a new custom charting application that integrates with the existing Shotgun infrastructure, as well as the use of Consilium Technology (recently acquired by Autodesk), a new, machine-learning-based, automated resource-leveling system that effectively balances and assigns resources. Together, they turn a time-consuming and error-prone manual leveling process into a fast and automated procedure that generates an accurate, adjustable, easy-to-communicate schedule.

Design Automation for Inventor software generally enables the desktop APIs to be used in the cloud—similar to how they would work on the desktop, but without the need of any installed software or dependent licenses. An additional, easily overlooked advantage of Design Automation for Inventor is its capability to run iLogic scripts in the cloud. These scripts being embedded in the CAD file itself can be programmed to auto execute under certain conditions. This class will address taking advantage of this capability to combine the Forge Design Automation API with iLogic to create a configurator by modifying an input Inventor file (IPT) in the cloud, according to the inputs provided by the user on an easy-to-use user interface. The results can be viewed immediately on a web browser using the Forge Viewer API, and are available for download in multiple formats such as IPT, IDW, and PDF. This web application sample uses the latest web technologies and is OS independent and mobile-device friendly.

This breakout session takes you to the core of Twinmotion’s real-time rendering capabilities and carries you from the inside out through the basic features up to the great range of visual outputs, enabling you to simply create and effectively communicate the story you need for bringing across your architectural design.

Traditionally, checking BIM (Building Information Modeling) standards is performed manually by BIM experts. At times, standards are not met while making revisions in the drawings. This results in a lot of rework at jobsites and also during building approvals with local authorities. In this class, we will explain how we’ve automated the process of checking BIM standards in the building design within BIM 360 software. We have built a BIM connector within BIM 360; it enables automatic rule checks in the building design each time the building design file is modified or uploaded in BIM 360. Checker results are made ready for view via an email update. This automation not only reduces dependency on the manual checking of BIM standards by BIM experts, but it also saves time, cuts cost overruns, and reduces chances of rework, as the design failures are caught early on in the construction chain process.

You’ve been given the responsibility to manage CAD within your department and/or organization, but your job title does not include “CAD manager.” You do not or cannot dedicate all of your time to this task. So how do you do this? We’ll use my transition from reseller to mining equipment manufacturer as a way of examining how to get buy-in from management, how to get participation by the users (and your peers), where to start, and how to proceed, as well as reviewing my continuing development with time and project management. Let’s talk processes, procedures, training, CAD, management, and continual leadership.

As a longtime Inventor user, the speaker found Fusion 360 software interesting, but also challenging. The workflows were close enough to Inventor to be easily accessible, but different enough to be challenging. And just how does this cloud storage thing work anyway? But the speaker kept at it enough to the point of comfort in either platform. So why bother? Besides the obvious answer that learning new software is in their job description, the speaker found that it’s a great platform for easily doing many simulation analyses. And when they started exploring the 3D machining tools, they found the same thing applied there. Plus, it's easy enough to acquire for home use. So, if you haven’t tried Fusion 360, but you know Inventor or a similar platform, spend an hour to learn the workflows, and save many more!

As an innovator in improving construction processes, Skanska was an early adopter of BIM 360 Field software (then named Vela). With a decade of experience in BIM 360 Field, the presenters will explore collaboration possibilities beyond issue tracking and checklists. For a client, Skanska has set up BIM 360 Field to track change orders as a replacement for the shared Microsoft Excel file. BIM 360 Field lets a team share information at the same time-and all changes are live and immediate. Using features including the equipment module and creating separate projects, the presenters will demonstrate how you can use BIM 360 Field with safety professionals and superintendent daily reports. Lastly, the proposed presentation will share how to use BIM 360 Field issue tracker when engaging with sustaining contracts, and the differences from a traditional greenfield project.

An insight into media content creation, delivery and resilience. How for years we have been scratching the surface of hybrid rendering CPU/GPU and how we have been forced to embrace it today. At the beginning of the year the world was turned upside down, one day we were traveling, having fun at opening ceremonies, filming interviews and at the word of “cut” we were told we had to work from home until further notice. Luckily in hindsight we were prepared to work remotely all at once, we had the right tools and the infrastructure to do so, many projects continued to move forward, some got put on hold but many new ones started to come in. Interactive web tours, Real time experiences, Real time video walls, Virtual Sales centers with 360 immersive Real time interactives and the list goes on. Lets take a look at the Software and Hardware that helped us move forward, lets talk about how we fast tracked into the future of Architectural Visualization.
